Show the industri your favorite camera designs, aesthetically

After some search I found a used Nikon F3HP in excellent condition, aesthetically my favorite camera design of all times. A design that is in no way slick but simply so wonderfully functional.
So far it only comes in an analog version, but maybe some day ... :cool:

Let's show the industri what a really beautiful camera design looks like :)

Here are some shots of my personal favorite with different optics, what are your favorite designs ?



The F3HP seen from top with Carl Zeiss Planar 1.4/85mm ZF

Oh, and re size ...
the F3HP with Carl Zeiss Planar 1.4/50mm ZF mounted - along with the Micro Four Thirds Panasonic G1 with f:3.5-5.6 / 14-45mm kit lens, just for size comparison

I love my F3 also... yours looks cleaner. mine plays far too much. Although his name is Junior /JR now that I'm in Texas... he eats film by the brick and has that nice "golden glow" of wear on his advance as well as the bottom left side.
